Thanks David! I looked around to see if I could find this based on the 2g Touch release but couldn't find it. Thanks for replying here. I appreciate it.

Apple always ships new product to Amazon within a couple of days, so you will probably receive your new iPod Touch within a week.

I ordered a 32gb on the 16th also. The listing said they were arriving on the 17th. Since I'm a prime customer I expected it by the end of the week. I received an email on the 20th telling me that there was a delay and I had until 10/20/08 to cancel because the estimated ship date was NOV. 8. Funny, the listing still says 'ships in 8 to 9 days'. I went with Amazon for the no tax, free two day shipping. Now, I'll just go to Apple and pay the tax. I've been an Amazon customer since they were shipping out of a garage. This is the first time this has happened.

I wouldn't put too much into that response from Amazon. Right now they need to guarantee delivery on items for Christmas so if they aren't sure on a release date then they have to say it won't arrive by the 24th. The thing that worries me is that you can no longer pre-order it. That capability is gone as of today. The way they are handling this whole thing is weird.

I am very upset. Because I preordered this on 7/1 and was expecting to recieve it this week. Every online store has these and shipped them out to people. What the heck is going on amazon? Why have something for advance purchase and not have the item ready when it

From what I have been reading, the headset was released last week. I agree that if Amazon is way down on the list of retailers, you may have to wait a bit longer. Might have something to do with pre-orders of $79 too :o(I'll keep my pre-order for alittle while longer and then may cancel and go elsewhere too... good luck....

Well, yay, I got my Amazon order shipped, too. Bless 'em. I mean Apple HAS to beat them to the punch. But having one to gift with is very nice indeed.

I would guess it would be similar to pre-ordering dvds, books, etc. In my experience, they tend to ship out the same day of the official release... so when you get it would depend on how you had it shipped (a day or so after). If you must have it immediately... pick up a copy at an apple store the morning of the 26th.

Many vendors seem to have gotten more pre-orders than they could handle, including Amazon itself. Vendors do seem to get getting additional units as time goes on, so I don't think you've missed out at all. Just be a little patient or look for a different vendor that has the item definitely listed as in stock.

I was walking through Staples today and they had these on the floor and in stock. The sales guy at Staples said they had them since last week. I am pretty upset at Amazon--why is it taking them so long to get them in stock? If I didn't have an amazon gift certificate to use I would cancel my order and buy it at Staples.

It's not released by Apple yet; their official store shows a 5-7 day ship estimate. I'd imagine Amazon will be around the same time.

WOW i just noticed that, its the only reason I didn't go ahead and place my order, can anyone confirm this? i get free shipping here and no tax, but apple wants to charge me tax, so i came to amazon, but i don't want to wait a month.

I see what you mean ... the default price was higher because Amazon stock is out. It says: "Order now and we'll deliver when available. We'll e-mail you with an estimated delivery date as soon as we have more information. Your credit card will not be charged until we ship the item." So I suppose you can try that and cancel the order if you aren't happy with the response (or lack of response). It sounds like a pretty awesome toy I must say.

That one on the photo look like the New version to me. Probably a newest version will come out ? But, if you are interested in buy a Mac, it will be a good choice. If you have an Amazon store card buy it because you will get up to a year without in interest charge . That's how I bought mine. No problems so far . Good Luck !

I also pre-ordered this unit on May 6th at the $379 price. At first it would be delivered at the end of May, and then on June 5th. Now there are no estimates on when they will have them for delivery. I called the manufacturer and was told they are in stock and available at other outlets on the web. They also said they do not sell direct to Amazon. I am concerned that Amazon has sold a number of these units at a price that will cause them to lose money if they deliver. I hope this is not what is behind this mystery.

I was very upset that Amazon in fact did not get their dates straight (I called customer service when I got the update). I have ordered mine 10/3 with their promise to deliver by 10/19. Well, I was promised early december delivery date but got my shipment today. Thanks, Amazon. I also ordered one from apple.com, got it in 2 days with free shipping also (I did have to pay tax). One difference though, apple sent my merchandise in a very safe and sturdy packaging. well cushioned and supported. Amazon shipment came in a box with very minimal cushion. Items rattled when I picked it up from my mailbox. My consolation is that it came prior to Christmas.

My hope is that Amazon is being cautious and giving themselves a buffer now. So that when you possibly get it on the 7th you'll be pleasantly surprised. That being said it sounds like Amazon got their shipments in late so that instead of having them day(s) before release so you get it on release day...now they are all after the date. That's what is sounded like when I talked to customer service. Very apologetic but not much they can do. I have 1 day shipping and it's the 8th for me too. I also confirmed that they did NOT oversell the preorders. That was my fear.

There are other storefronts on amazon selling the ipod touch. I bought mine from 6ave. I had an order with amazon since Sept. 20 and their customer service told me I wouldn't get it until November 14. Unacceptable. I too had amazon gift certs I wanted to use, so I cancelled with amazon and purchased with 6ave through amazon. 6ave had stock and I could still use my gift certs on the order. So, hopefully I'll get it this week. Definitely look at other storefronts on amazon as you may be able to apply your gift certs on that order.
